Seriously, this is what one online dating "guru" says about men
writing their profile: "Guys – write almost nothing because
whatever you say will be a huge turn off to women."

In keeping with that, here's some of the favorite quotes from
OKQ:
"I was born at a very young age."
"If you are looking for an angel, go to heaven."
" I'm a terrible person but I've come to terms with this."

I could go on; I guess you can read between the lines here; the
things I find humorous speak volumes about me.

There is an upside; as you can see I actually enjoy reading
profiles on OKQ. Caveat, mostly ones that are full of indirect

I like surprises; in case of turbulence please fasten your seat
belt.
I know more then I ever wanted to know about raising kids – love
them in small to medium doses (depending on the person); I know,
how nasty is that?

I don't want to get complicated here; when I have time, I read –
really; I love books; I buy them frequently; I have a bunches
around the house: art books, photography books, bios, autobios,
(Francesca Woodman comes to mind); someday I may read them.
If you find Antonioni's early films interesting we might have a fun
there. At times I like Fandor – I seem to think social commentary
in your plot is good.
Wish I had a better appreciation of fiction – could you help me
with that?

I don't really have typical, but then Friday is not something I
always idealize as certain way; I like the idea of a intense late
evenings – especially if the idea lives up to the reality.
A passionate cuddle (where possible) fest, otherwise I'll take my
displaced sexuality here: a long bike ride, cafe sitting, home
projects, ifilms, mostly these live up to my expectations.
Now and then it can get a little wild but not too often.
